“The latest version of the Shield TV makes an already great system even better. Not only is it smaller
But it still delivers the best performance of any system in its class
And with the greatly improved new peripherals
It’s even more enjoyable to
A bit expensive (if only using for media playback)
Not a lot of displays have the required spec for the full 4K performance (although that is slowly changing)

Expensive for a streamer
Android TV missing big-name apps
While the specs are spot-on
Android TV
However
Is still a mixed bag. First-party content from Google ends up at the top of most results
And the recommended content section usually fails to provide anything substantial
And at $199 (around £130
AU$255
16GB of storage Bandwidth required for streaming HD online GameStreaming lag
It's more expensive than any other streamer and doesn't include a remote
Aside from the game controller. Native app selection is still weaker than that of Roku
Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. The menu system seems designed to push users toward Google's med
More expensive than competitors
Android TV prioritizes Google Play
Cloud gaming platform bereft of top titles
Over-specced for most users' needs
Quality doesn't come cheap
Costly if you're just after a media streamer
No significant hardware update over the two year-old original
Plasticky triggers on the controller
Limited selection of software and apps
GeForce Now subscription lacks new titles
Remote costs extra
No remote control in the box
Android TV is still lacking in app support for many big name services
Gamer-friendly looks are an acquired taste
Missing some terrestrial catch-up apps
Pricey
Not wildly different to original Shield TV
It's a Little Pricey
You Need A Good Internet Connection To Do It Justice
Only 16GB of onboard storage
Disappointing controller
High network requirements
Only 16 GB storage
Lack of native apps
(Temporary) Colour Space Issue
No TV remote and optional one is pricey
Audio drop-outs with less sensitive headphones
Some will think it expensive
Remote loses connection sometimes
Still some colour space muddles
No dynamic refresh rate switching for some major apps
New remote is not as good
Only 16GB of internal storage
Android TV can feel limiting.
Lacks apps for All 4
My 5 and ITV Hub while you can play from All 4 to the Shield from a tablet (both Android and iOS) it's not available for My 5 and ITV Hub
Also lacks access to Amazon Instant Prime
Can only stream music
Photos and videos stored on
The Nvidia Shield does lack apps for All 4
My 5 and ITV Hub but as it has a builtin Chromecast you can open these apps on your smartphone (either Apple and Android) and then cast the show to the streamer
